Indiana State Police announced Thursday that an Indianapolis man faces charges for swallowing marijuana during a traffic stop.

35 year old Edward Ector was booked into the Marion County Jail on charges of obstruction of justice and possession of marijuana.

A trooper stopped Ector for a seat belt and moving violation and asked to search his car.

State police say Ector refused to exit the car, pulled out a bag of what they suspect to be marijuana, and began eating it. Police say he finally got out of the car when he finished consuming the green, leafy substance.
